Sermons on “Commandments”

When the Disciples realized there were over 5,000 hungry people at one of their meetings, their first reaction was to send them away to fill their own stomachs. Jesus then commanded them to feed the people. The Disciples were perplexed because they only had 5 loaves and 2 fish, Jesus knew this but He gave them the command anyways. He wanted them to begin caring for those in need with what they had, then by faith God would bring the increase. Long story short, all estimated 10,000+ people ate that day with baskets of food left over!

When we see need we’re commanded to meet it. If we can’t feed 10,000 we start feeding one and trust God for the increase! During this sermon we learn more about the miracles that follow our obedience to serve others!

The Good Samaritan is more than a good story, Jesus used it to explain how to “love thy neighbor as thyself.” If we deviate from Jesus definition of what “love thy neighbor” looks like and redefine it as simply handshakes and smiles in public, others will suffer at the hands of evil. We are called to be Good Samaritans, we are called to be bringers of Justice and Mercy, this is how we fulfill the command to love our neighbors!

“Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” – Matthew 9:35-38
